Karin, so glad you got to meet up with Jen.

And I love the Old Key West photos...keep them coming (41 days until we are there).

 

[Kat in GA]

I will look forward to a PM from you later!

Old Key West looks gorgeous. And I love the mickey detail on your railing.

I see that you have already been to WPE - can you believe I've never been there?? We always end up at EoS - but I will have to work on turning the corner and checking that out instead - at least once!!

Olivia's looks really good! I can't wait to read your full dining reviews when you get home.

 

[Minnie&Nana]

OHMYGOSH, I just have to have breakfast at Olivia's one trip!! Makes my mouth water.

It is sooo good to see you enjoying the balcony. You and Tom really needed this right now - and a one bedroom is truly perfection!! I'd love to be able have one when we take Sophia on her first trip , but those darn things are more than 2 rooms. Maybe a great pin code will show up.... looking like not until Feb 2013 anyway.

Great pic with Jen - the Meets have begun!!

Thanks so much for taking the to post for us!

Who was the gift basket from? That was really sweet!

Those pizzas from WPE are making me so hungry right now. I hope to get there on my short trip coming up.

Your villa is gorgeous and I love the views!

 

[tinacaplan]

YAY! You are here! Although we're not nearly close enough IMO! OKW looks beautiful and your breakfast looked heavenly. Truly.

And you missed MK EMHs...for shame! Although, I realize you didn't have the same motivatoin as you had in February...on and you're going to be around for how many other EMH evenings? Have a wonderful time.

 

[MAGICFOR2]

Ahhh, your resort looks like Home Sweet Home! I love it! Olivia's breakfast looks so yummy! And then there's the pizza That gift basket looks so nice, and I'm so happy your room has been ready for you!!! Pixie Dust I think!

 

[Tarheel Tink]

Have a fantastic time! We love OKW and Olivia's.

Part 2

to be continued ............

Spent the afternoon chilling at the resort and then changed dinner plans .......

We had dinner at "the neighbours".

Best meal we had so far .............

 

[disneyfav4ever]

Between Nicki's review of Boatwright's after her last trip, and your pics, I think it's safe to say I'll have an ADR there next year.

AWESOME!!!!

Karin! So happy you are there and the fun and food has begun!!!\

Also very happy to hear your room was ready - you deserve that for sure!

Lots of fun and even more food!

So far we have been very lucky with Mousekeeping! Very clean and our room has been done by midday at the latest ....... that's the way I like it!

Yay on the clean room!!!

Are we going to see a Camaro again or a convertible?

Efficient Mousekeeping this time!
No Camaro this time, but Tom is pretty happy with his 2011 Mustang Convertable with leather interior!

Karin so glad you made it !!! I had no internet at work today so couldn't check in !!Been busy with loose ends !!Have confimed we are indeed registered at Hotel off site for 18th and made sure they had a rollaway bed for us !!The hotel has 4 pools, a miniature golf course and a FREE breakfast !!Judy just told the kids to eat a LOT!

Hi Rosie!
I know you are off tomorrow! Can't wait to finally meet you! Hope you all eat LOTS and lots of yum breakfast, but not too much, so we can enjoy our lunch at WPE on Friday.

 

[dizneeat]

Hi Karin, i stumbled upon last year's TR and read the whole thing, loved it. I'm subbing for this one.

Welcome!
I really intend to finish that last trip report after we return, but at the moment we SOOOOOOOOOOO enjoy our time here at WDW!

Yay for the room being ready super quick

Super lucky here at OKW! Our room was ready at midday at the latest every day so far!
How are your wedding "nerves"?

Karin you seemed to have a magical touch for the Dramatic part of Disney . That is so awesome the room was ready guess we are having a little pre Dreaming to start with . hope you and Tom Enjoy disney cannot wait to say HI really soon .

We have been sprinkled heavily with Pixie dust so far! Our villa is a great location, the view is wonderful and the service is perfect!
We'll see you very soon on the DREAM, I'll get her all ready and shiny for you!

Your place looks amazing! I love the colors... so light and airy feeling.

Your food of course looks yummy..but at least today I have had something to eat so no drool today.

Reading along, your dismeet is so cool cause I had to pause and think "oh, I recognize who that is" So funny to follow all these various PTR/TRs and then see people show up in someone elses thread. It is kinda like when a good show on tv has a "cross over event" So exciting for the viewers.

OKW is just wonderful. It has such a laid back feeling, not like a hotel at all, it feels like a small community!

More yummy food to come soon! There is just not enough time to update all the time, but I'm trying, I promise.

It was so fun to finally meet Jennifer face to face. There are all those people who feel like you have known them for a long time and finally you get to say hello and hug them in real life! Amazing!

 

[dizneeat]

Have to stop for a while as we are heading out to dinner ............ and we changed our minds on where to eat for today too!

 

[jedijill]

Nice car! I have a soft spot for Mustang convertibles!

Jill in CO

 

[tinacaplan]

Tom looks so happy in the convertible. Too cool!

Boatwright's looks yummy. Hmm..would be a nice option if we ever stay at POFQ, perhaps?

Loving the live updates! You guys look like you're having the best time.

Cool Everest pics, too...made me feel like I was right there. Almost makes up for my not riding it since 2010! ALMOST!

 

[dizneeat]

Oh that food is just making my mouth water !!Can't wait for the creme brulee at WPE on Friday !!!!!

Rosie, this is our fifth day here and we have been to WPE three times! Can't wait to eat there a fourth time - with you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope you are ready to go!

Karin, so glad you got to meet up with Jen.

And I love the Old Key West photos...keep them coming (41 days until we are there).

Meeting Jen was so much fun!
There are definitely more pics of OKW coming! It is a beautiful resort, not a real hotel feel, it's like you are living in a little community, just without all the shops and hassle!

I will look forward to a PM from you later!

Old Key West looks gorgeous. And I love the mickey detail on your railing.

I see that you have already been to WPE - can you believe I've never been there?? We always end up at EoS - but I will have to work on turning the corner and checking that out instead - at least once!!

Kat, I sent you a PM, sorry I didn't get around to doing it earlier!

Yes, OKW is a really beautiful resort. It has a wonderful and relaxed feel and I just love when the guard greets us with a "Welcome home"!

You have never been to WPE????????? You missed out on something! Hope you make it there on your next trip!

Olivia's looks really good! I can't wait to read your full dining reviews when you get home.

We have had a lot of meals at Olivia's, but I really love breakfast. I guess this will be another long dining review, as we have had quite a lot of yummy food already!

 

[KatMark]

Karin, it looks as if you and Tom are having a great time and some awesome meals. As you know, we were very disappointed in our meal at Boatwright's, but perhaps a few years down the road, we'll give it another chance.
